Deleting all oracle services.

How would I go about delteting all oracle services from control panel/admin tools/services? I have tried with out success to log on to an oracle sid through the command prompt, I have deleted all that I can from the registry.
Thanks.

Firstly, thanks TimHall, I will give it a go.

Secondly, thanks abhaysk I will look this utility up.

SANJAY_G, I tried that method, I could not make a connection to get to the oradim utlility. The reason I suspect is that I performed an un-install with the universl installer, then deleted all oracle directories, then finally deleting all but what TimHall mentioned in the registry.

Thanks all, hopefully I will not be back here for the same problem again.

Excuse me? You're the one with the reading problem. That's why I used short, monosyllabic words - to make it easier for you to understand the instructions. Further, if you had bothered to read any documentation, including a personal reference book or two, you wouldn't have been here asking a dumb question.

I think questions of the same nature/knowledge level will keep coming up again and again. Playing the bouncer is not gonna help the guys here. I can understand that you have the "coveted"(huh?)moderator title now so you're on a new high. So stop f**king around and try to help out guys here. Your sorryass wisecracks aren't funny (they never were...)
